That is probably one of the most intellectually cultured fetish I have ever seen. Good job.
It's so hot when they admire our usage of plastic in everything because there isn't oil to make plastic out of on a spaceship that can't go faster than light.
Hey if any of y'all want to have some fun if Trump gets elected, Kalashnikov is opening a factory in Florida and we have a bunch of people in America who have yet to be armed with modern civil war-appropriate weaponry. So, you know if anyone in NC or Virginia is up for some gun running, I'm ready when you are.
I've got an entire playlist on iTunes specifically set up for this.
Here I am hoping that the galaxy is more like the one in Mass Effect. That has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I'd totally fuck an asari or a quarian.
As an asexual who finds the idea of sex repulsive and has refused it on multiple occasions, I would do unspeakable things to those Quarian hips.
If First Contact occured in your lifetime, would you fuck an alien?
What kind of question is this.
The answer is always yes.
Hey we should build a wall to keep the aliens out.
I think we should just conquer the aliens. That way there isn't anything to keep out. Because they're ours now.
I also think we should do the same thing to every other species we come across.
Sorry I haven't posted recently, I had a quid in math that I failed, a test in math the next day I also failed, and then I had to fill out a middle college application at the last minute and I don't know if it's even valid. Not that it matters. I mean, I just failed two math tests. That doesn't say good things about my chances.
Anyways, I'll have the app finished over the weekend.
Oh yes, the US psyche is profoundly melodramatic. Take gun control. At the first sign of reasonable laws a certain section of the US EXPLODES! They talk as if one week after the authorities took their guns they would be Living under Russian occupation. Ridiculous!
This. I mean, seriously? A guy says "Hey, you know, could you, like, do background checks please? That'd be great." and everyone buys ammunition and fortifies their homes in preparation for a government crackdown. It's not that terrible to have to wait a little bit to buy a gun, you know.
@KeyguypersonLooking pretty good so far, but you do realize its been about a century since the bombs dropped right? It ain't 2016 no more boy :P
Also, your population is pretty low , you sure you okay with that?
*Insert joke about reading comprehension and English grades here, thus making me feel slightly better about the fact that I totally missed that and was too embarassed to ask, so instead I embarrassed myself even more* *Woah that was also an excuse* *I'm so meta* *Is that even what meta means?* *Oh hey look I did it again* *Okay enough of the infinite recursion, you're all tired of it and really want to stab me in the throat by now*
Honestly, I'm glad. It's way easier to just explain how these nutcases came to power than to explain why a bunch of nobodies conquered NC. As for the pop, I'm going to increase it. I was running off of a rough estimate of the population of the mountains, plus refugees, plus a few births.
The eastern area of the Commune was completely devastated in the war, and is mostly radioactive wasteland. The areas of the nation west of the mountains are significantly cleaner, as are some of the smaller, more isolated towns in the east. Extensive cleanup efforts have managed to revitalize pre-war farmlands in the east. The coastal town of Beaufort in particular was cleaned as best the government could. The rest of the land is as it once was, though with a bit more deadly, cancer-inducing radiation.
Government Type
Military Dictatorship
Capital
West Jefferson, a town established as a destination for countless refugees in the early days of the country, the capital of the Commune now supports a rather significant population in its former shops and various makeshift dwellings.
Head of State
Who the "Head of State" is in the Commune is a rather complicated question. If one is to be technical, it would be Niall Lister-the man who originally founded the state. At the same time, he keeps his two advisers-John Smith and Jessica Ansbach-exceptionally close and while he is supposedly the leader of the country, it is quite clear that he and his advisers are what truly forms the government. They are all in the same party, that party being the American Reclamation Party. (Profiles in the Other Important People section, because this is getting long)
Other Important People
-Niall Lister: A USN fighter pilot who was on standby in the US following the sinking of the USS George Washington in the Northern Sea. He was at home in the mountains of North Carolina when the bombs were dropped, and was spared from the fallout thanks to his location. In the days afterward, he and the two other founders of the nation organized the survivors and took power simply by virtue of the fact that they were the first to take action. As far as military dictators go, he's rather easygoing, and seems to have tried his best to cultivate a popular, lovable image for himself rather than use fear to stay in power. It's a closely-held secret of his that he only joined the Navy because otherwise he thought he would have been drafted into the Army or Marines, something he didn't think he would be able to take because as he himself said before the war "I don't think I could pull a trigger if I could see the blood". -Jessica Ansbach: A US marine in every sense of the word. She fought in Korea during the war and was part of the hard-earned first assault on the North, during which she single-handedly captured an enemy machine gun nest and became the second America woman to be awarded the medal of honor. Shortly afterwards, however, she was severely injured in combat and brought back to the USA for treatment. It was just after she had been discharged from the hospital that the ICBMs were launched. She is generally considered Lister's right-hand woman, and is generally the one who appears whenever the military (which encompasses the police, of course) is involved, since she is known for being significantly harsher than her two comrades. As a side note, Jessica and Niall went to the Naval Academy in Annapolis together. -John Smith: More commonly known as "Yes, that's his real name", John Smith is the only one of the founders without any military service. He was, in fact, a genetic engineer whom worked on simple things like cold-resistant crops before the war. This happened to be a significant boon afterwards, since having crops resistant to frost and cold is generally useful after a global temperature drop. At the request of Ansbach, he was set to work on adapting crops to the new, post-war conditions. Far from the grandiose, far-off dreams of the other two founders, John Smith's only higher agenda is to make sure as many people survive as possible. It is worth noting that, ever since an ill-fated expedition to Durham two years ago that put he and his crew in the hospital, John Smith has refrained from appearing in public. -Connor Allen: A Commune ranger famous for supposedly killing a Yeti alone. Though an officer in the military, he was kept from having any political power and instead assigned to escort parties heading into irradiated or dangerous parts of the land. He was one of the escorts for Dr. Smith's party, and claims to know the truth of what happened there. However, he has never actually told the story, despite his penchant for good moonshine. -Norman Elliot: The owner of the Blue Ribbon Diner-a favorite of Ansbach and Lister's-in the capital. His establishment has turned into a community center thanks to the patronage of the founders (which some believe might involve giving him priority on the cleanest rations). Using the profits, he's also opened up a gun shop and a saloon. All of these endeavors are on the same block (another topic which makes many suspect the government intervened to give him a favorable position), which has only increased the number of people who flock to the place to do nothing more than simply socialize.
Population
1.6 Million
Attitude Towards Evols
At first the founders appeased the population, being staunchly against Evols. Ansbach in particular was outspoken about them being an impurity to be eliminated. About two years ago, however, they seemingly reversed their position and stated that the Evols were simple humans that needed to be purified of their illness, instead of an to be killed off.
Economic System
The Commune, despite being a Commune, is actually capitalist. If the words of Ansbach are any indication, though, that's only because it's hard to implement most forms of socialism after a nuclear war.
Resources
What kinds of stuff does your nation produce?
Currency
What do you use to barter with or do you just plain barter?
Technology
How advanced/industrialized are you. Again, keep it balanced.
Official Religion
Do you use an old world religion (ie Mormonism, Baptism, Catholicism... Scientology...) or do you follow some new gods and cults?
Religious Information
Describe your new religion or how you've changed the old ones if at all.
History
How did your nation start? Keep it simple so I'd say 3 paragraphs at max more or less. I don't care if you make it longer than that but I might just start skipping over bits and pieces
Culture
Some notable cultural traits of your people.
Military Numbers
How big is your army? Remember, keep it proportional and balanced
Military Units
What kind of units serve in your military? I personally have more of a focus on this than numbers.
Really sorry.
Anyways, all major nuclear targets have multiple missiles aimed at them. You can see this in the declassified maps of Cold War nuclear targets. Also, pirates would be great. It sounds like some fun stuff, and also an opportunity for me to do something. Not sure what, but I can do something. Maybe have some fun over at Beaufort? Second pirate invasion, anyone?
When you read a recent post, see "OOC" "in" and "app", and think "Oh whoops guess I shouldn't post it in the OOC like everyone else did hurr durr" and then put it in the wrong place.
I'm a weeaboo communist. Are you surprised?
EDIT: You probably are now, but I'm not going to tell you why you wouldn't have been like two years ago. You get to agonize over that yourself.
